The final international conference of the Tempus project “University knowledge transfer for sustainable growth” was held at UNN on June 1. It had the title “Contribution of the Tempus programme to the innovative development of the University”. The conference brought together leading scholars and practitioners in the area of knowledge transfer and innovation in the field of science from Russia, Great Britain, Belgium, Italy and Ireland. In his welcome remarks, the Rector of Lobachevsky State University Professor Evgeny Chuprunov told the conference participants about the history of the university, its achievements in the past and at the present stage of development. The rector also noted the significant role of the Tempus programme  in the development of the University’s  international relations, and more importantly, in the establishment of UNN as an innovative university.

Professor Olga Oleynikova, Director of the National Tempus Office noted in her presentation that this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Tempus program, aimed at improving cooperation in the field of higher education between EU and the countries outside the European Union. Russia joined the program in 1994. From the outset, Nizhni Novgorod State University became an active member of the Tempus program and has been successfully implementing its joint projects – one after another.

UNN Vice-Rector for International Relations and Innovations in Education, Professor Alexander Grudzinskiy in his report “Contribution of Tempus projects to the development of strategic university management  at UNN”  told the conference that over the years UNN has won, on a competitive basis, the right to perform 15 projects of different types.
